<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 7814830, member: 104064&quot;]I just learned today that only 37 of the 102 passengers were Separatists aka Puritans. It&#039;s interesting that I spent my whole &quot;educated&quot; life with the impression that everybody on board was seeking religious freedom. My maternal grandmother traced her genealogy back to a bit later in the 1620s and my paternal grandfather claimed that his side went back to the Mayflower, but I&#039;m skeptical of the latter. I ran into the number of actual Separatists on board from this BBC article, which is interesting for the estimates of Mayflower descendants living today. <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57698818" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57698818" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57698818</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The coin is one of my favorite designs. I got mine from my grandmother. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1343290[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
